DODGERS 7, ORIOLES 4at Fort Lauderdale, Fla.Monday, March 10

Dodgers at the plate: Andruw Jones delivered a run-scoring single in the first inning, and the Dodgers came back for three more runs in the third. Rafael Furcal tripled in a run in that rally and scored on a run-scoring single by Delwyn Young. Matt Kemp, who hit into a double play in the first inning, doubled in a run in the third. Jones broke a 4-4 tie in the eighth with a two-run homer.

Orioles at the plate: Brian Roberts drew a walk and stole two bases in the fourth inning. Roberts has seven stolen bases this spring -- including three of third base -- and hasn't been caught yet. Nick Markakis tripled in two runs in the fourth and catcher Ramon Hernandez made it a one-run game with a single in the sixth.

Dodgers on the mound: Chan Ho Park pitched three perfect innings for Los Angeles and has worked seven scoreless frames in three outings this spring. Park got four groundouts, four flyouts and one strikeout on Monday. Eric Stults took the ball in the fourth inning and got five outs and allowed five baserunners -- one on a hit and four on walks.

Orioles on the mound: Steve Trachsel pitched four innings and allowed seven hits. The Dodgers reached him for two extra-base hits and four runs, but only three of them were earned. Veteran reliever Chad Bradford tossed a scoreless inning, and George Sherrill threw two perfect frames. Sherrill, the favorite to be Baltimore's closer, got all flyouts in his first inning and all groundouts in his final frame.

Grapefruit League records: Dodgers 6-6-1; Orioles 6-5-1.

Up next: The Dodgers will take on the Marlins on Tuesday at 1:05 p.m. ET in Vero Beach, Fla., pitting Derek Lowe against Florida's Andrew Miller. Baltimore will play against the Cardinals in Jupiter at 1:05, and Daniel Cabrera will pitch against Todd Wellemeyer.
